This guy be brilliant. Wish i'd thought of it! $70 for a piece of cast metal, i bet he's making tons of money off of this.
If i were him, i'd design and make some magnetic sites to put on the can so you WOULD actually be able to hit the broad side of the barn with it.

The only really quiet gun using this thing, is going to be one in a caliber that shoots subsonic ammo. Almost all handgun ammo except .22 lr is subsonic, so is shotgun ammo, Most rifles do not fire subsonic ammo - unless you already reload then you could just roll your own shells that are.

@OILLPOND A suppressor needs some sort of baffle inside that will slow the gases down. A piece of pipe alone wouldn't do anything to make it more quiet. The oil filter just happens to have a design that works.

@zcotty Hunting squirrels all quiet like?
It looked like he did use the sights on the ruger rifle "It's not sighted in". Easy enough to throw together some rudimentary sites using rare earth magnets to hold them on the can. You could even make them adjustable, i'm sure.

@zcotty Agreed. Suppressors are not legal in my state, and if this was the only thing that was legal, I still wouldn't buy it. I didn't spend $2000 on a rifle to stick a giant $20 car part on the end of it. This is just stupid. What's next, a pillow and some rope?

Holy Crapola, never heard of such a thing. That is one cool gizmo and he could make a few bucks for sure. Who can tell all of us law abiding citizens the exact process for getting a suppressor permit from the ATF? I heard if you have any record at all, it's grounds for denial. I have no record at all, so I would think it would fly.

@soyboy The oil filter can is made of thin gauge sheet metal, see how easy even a .22 LR punches a hole in it. After the first shot you can see there's no resistance to the bullet.If you wanted you could always just drill out the end first i guess.
